Home Is a What--Not a Where

Deeply consider, dear readers and friends, Look at my view and my lens Of the simple definition of a home. Tell me, dear readers, who read all my words, Ye call the nests of the birds A tiny, little, small, yet standing home? My meaning is not from the dictionary. It shall be so contrary, Most likely, than thy meaning of a home. A home is not a where, it is a what. A home is what combines The father and the mother And the sister and the brother And not where one lives. Why? Because if you call a building a home, Then all the poor have not a home. A home is not where food is made. If a home is where you eat good food, Then the people who are hungry have no home. And why is home not a where? Families that on the crowded streets roam And do not have a house, they have a home—if they are united. I hope you understand, my friend What a home means to me. THE END.
